My new book is part memoir, part self-help and part women’s health. It is my sometimes-embarrassing journey along with some of my epic fails. And I apply the lessons learned that are backed by the science. I want to encourage women to give themselves some grace, forgiveness and to not be afraid of failure while taking on new challenges.
Because at every different stage of our lives we have inevitable stressors, and I discuss these in the book, whether it is balancing work and motherhood, empty-nesting, menopause, cancer and heart disease, divorce, caregiving, or grieving and loss.
We all must learn how to harness those stresses for success and then….we will never let them see us sweat!
